Every governmental scheme finds Its ultimate test in the character of the men who may be brought to its execution. Men who in trade will resort to dishonest methods and un- fair practices In conifietltloii will at- tempt to fatten themselves at t lie expense of the public If they are elected to office. Men who will prey upon minority stockholders or abuse the trusts that are committed to them In our great financial enterprises will prey iq>on the people If they have u cha nee. Whether powers of supervision and regulation will lie wisely exercised OOV. llLGlita. depends, not upon the words of the statute book, but upon the character of the supervisors and regulators; and you must have a higher quality of citizenship In those who administer the laws than In those whose conduct makes the laws and their admlnis- tratlon necessary.

WORLD OR WOMEN-WHICH WILL CHANGE? By Ada May Krecker. It does not seem unreasonable to expect women in the long run to give to the big world something of their own natures. It Is only what they have done In the home. That Is why the homes where they are queens are thought refined nnd beautiful and why the big outside world where they are slaves Is called hard and eold. But even If women should not do much to soften the big world, the nat ural processes of evolution are nt work slowly and surely relining it. Tbe cold, hard world to-day is not nearly so cruel or uncomfortable or brutal as the choicest home life of the savages. If the western world seems a little untamed 111 com parison with the oriental It Is because Its civilization is so much newer. Less than two thousand years ago It was chiefly savages; whereas over twenty thou years ago the orientals were writing poetry and pli ophy. Ur If America seems ruder than Europe 1 because we Insist upon civilizing everybody, hi Ell they have been satisfied with a few "gentles." 'J have called them the "quality." But in America pay attention to "quantity," too. And If we cannot them all out as gentlemen by the time they are urallzed citizens, we at least find them easy to tingulsli from new arrivals by their better behavior better dress Whichever way we take It—whether FRED J. FICK world Is growing daintier of Its own accord, or whether women publicly are helping to make It so—there Is good reason to expect It to become as lit a place for a woman as a parlor. And there Is little ground for fearing that women will turn either Into men or rowdies because they have left their zenanas. ; CITY DRUG STORE I [ J. W. ROBINSON, M. D., Proprietor WHERE DO WILD ANIMALS DIE ? By Dr. Theodore Zell Where do wild animals die? This questiot has often been aRked, and ninny learned nat uralists have tried to find satisfactory an swer, but even at the present time compara tively little is known that would throw a clear light upon that subject. The question is simple enough and easily answered in some cases, but extremely difficult in other eases. In u large number of cases tla* animals are killed by other animals or by man and eaten. Of all living creatures man is the most bloodthirsty, and more animals fall victims to his greed, cruelty or appetite than to the murderous instincts of carnivorous or other ani mals. Some have made the assertion that certain animals, when they feel the approach of death, retire to some hid ing place, a cave, a hollow tree, or some crevice In the rocks, and there await the end. That may be true and Is decidedly probable, but does not explain the fact that only In rare oases are the remains of dead animals found in such places. It has often been commented upon that even in *he districts where monkeys are abundant dead monkeys are scarcely ever found. Ancient writers like Pliny speak with remarkable erudition of the age which certain domestic and wild animals reach, but their writ ings throw no light upon the question as to what be comes of the animals after death. The number of car casses and skeletons which are actually found is far too small to give a satisfactory explanation of that puzzling question which Is still waiting for its Oedipus.

By Dr. Felix Adler We have no great leadership in (politics oi in other fields. The average American intelll gence Is high, but we have not the peaks that tower above the average. No country needs great leaders so much as a democracy, and In no country have they appeared less than In our democracy. The false Idea of equality, I Imagine, has something to do with it. It Is a curious fact, Americans are the most Individualistic and the least In dlvlduallstlc. Nowhere is Individualism so much encour aged and nowhere so much discouraged. The American air Is filled with the spirit of enterprise; on the other band, he Is less Independent than tbe Eng lishman. He would never assert his rights when he Is ousted, as the Englishman; he Is afraid of being singular when he steps out and resents that which others bear. Democracy is unfavorable to Individualism in this re spect. OREGON JACKSONVILLE, City Meat Market CLOSED SUNDAYS WE SELL SAUER KRAUT EDWARD BINNS Jacksonville TWO NOTORIOUS ANARCHISTS.

SHAW A young woman who recently made n trip to Euro|>e decided to consult the captain of the ship as to the best pre ventive for seasickness. Having armed herself with a letter of Introduction to the officer, she waited until the ship had cleared Sandy Hook, ways a writer In the Bohemian, and then approached him. She described her fears, and beg ged for a Bemedy. “My dear lady," replied the captain, with an amused smile, “you will not be troubled with any Illness If you will do what I tell you. .Most Indies confine themselves to their staterooms, anil thereby Incur tile very thing they fear. Now If you will stay on deck, get nil the fresh nlr you can, walk up and down, take go<sl physical care of your self, and try not to think of trouble, you will never l>e seasick." The lady thanked hint. She followed the directions faithfully, and when the ship rnn Into the tail end of a heavy northwest gnle. she never felt a qualm. She apfieiired regularly at meals, >m<i snjoyed herself thoroughly. As the gale was abating, she be thought her that It was due the en p- tain Hint she should thank him for his good advice, and approaching the deck steward, entrusted him with a message asking for an Interview. In due time the steward returned, saying that the captain was unable to grant her an Interview. “Why not?” she questioned. "Why won’t he see me?” “Captain's compliments, miss." said tbe stewnrd, “but he's suffering with n bit of seasickness, which 'ns lasted two A hj - b now, an' he ain’t In shai>e to talk to you."

EMMA GOLDMAN The bomb-th rowing a flair at Union square, New York City, served again to bring to public notice several of the niHistles of disorder, chaos and an- archy. One of these Is Alexander Berkman and another Is Emma Gold- man. Both of these worthies have caused the police a great deal of work and annoyance mid are kept under surveillance most. If not all of. the time, Berkman Is the editor of n publication known as Mother Earth, which Is widely circulated among those of anarchistic sympathies. He is the man who tried to kill Henry C. Frick, and he served a term In prison for his crime It is Mid Mr. Frick employs a detective to watch Iterkmmi COll- stnntly for fear he will repeat the attempt at assassination. Berkman was nrrested after the recent bomb throwing, but could not be connected with that affair. Emma Goldman Is a lecturer on anarchy and Is associated with Berkman In the publication of Mother Earth. The police never lose sight of her and are vigilant tn policing any hall In which she Is to speak. ed on a piece of Iron rod bo bent and fastened to the lintel of the window In the second story of the building that any person on the second floor of the building can. by looking Into the top most piece of glass, see what Is going on In the street below or who or what may be passing up and down the street without opening the window to look out. The mirrors take the place of bay windows. The primary object In setting ttp a busylsidy Is to see who Is at the front door, or who may tie approaching from either side of the building to the door The topmost piece of glass 1* tilted so that It will show the front doorstep. One piece of glass Is set at ail angle to catch a reflection of all that is going on at the right sl<le of the street and another to reflect the approach to the left. In Philadelphia, where ninety-nine out of every KM» honses are built out to the sidewalk, and all houses are built tn a line, busybodies become great time savers for housekeepers. If un desirable callers nene to the front door the busybody gives timely notice of their approach, and the person sought need not be at home. By keeping an eye on the busybody the woman at her sewing can detect the caller th« moment he conies within range of th« mirrors, and plenty of time Is give» for prinking.
